I flew back down to San Diego for a couple more sessions with Aaron Della Vedova at Guru Tattoo. He finished off my Mountain Goat backpiece and started in with the layout and lining of my Great Blue Heron front piece. I'm psyched to get this piece rolling!!

Progress! Here's a couple shots from the trenches. I didn't get many cleaned up photos due to catching my flight home. More to come...

Thanks for the kind welcome. I'm glad you like the backpiece @The Tig

I figured it was time to contribute! I've really enjoyed all your pics/post the last couple years...good stuff. This is my mountain goat piece. I'm into it 60 of estimated 70hrs but who we kidding...I'll keep going. I've been flying down to Guru Tattoo in San Diego from the Pacific Northwest every other month since March. The artist is Aaron Della Vedova. I've been doing two 6 hour sessions each visit accompanied by a miserable flight home. I had an existing shoulder piece/mountain scene that he tied into. I'm heading down next week for another beating. This is where I'm at so far...

I feel bad it has taken me so long to sign up when I've had the LST tab open on my iPad for two years! I enjoy following the back piece thread and seeing the progress/finished products on so many well done pieces. I'm currently about 90% thru my back piece...60 hours of an estimated 70...but who we kidding here, I'll keep going. I'll find a pic and post it in the backpiece thread later. Cheers -g
